SKJELVET (THE QUAKE)
Recommended. It's slow, with atmospheric electronic music and awe-inspiring panoramas of Norwegian fjords and Oslo. Convincing cinematography and CGIs. Very realistic in the plot too: from the initial disregard for danger, through the destruction, dust and an aftershock. A swiftly built story with character background, e.g. the geologist's hand trembled nervously whenever he thought of a quake but stopped shaking when the quake started. And when it started my own palms got sweaty. This quake gave me shivers. The final info of Norway being a region very active seismically magnifies the realism.
AUTSAJDER
Watchable. Meticulously recreated communist Poland: decorations, costumes, hair styling, make-up, music, well researched also in terms of imprisonment at the time. The story's engaging, clear-cut, linear. Just with no depth.
